Testing Data
(Figure 1. Recombinant mCherry on SDS- PAGE . Lane A (unheated and without DTT) and Lane B (boiled containing DTT). Note: SDS denaturation and boiling is known to produce a 22kDa cleavage product (due to hydrolysis of the main chain acylimine linkage ).)
Testing Data #2
(Figure 2 . mCherry Fluorometric Activity . Fluorescence measurement was performed on SpectraMax Gemini XS Fluorometer (Molecular Devices) with a 584/612 nm filter set. One should use the data below for reference only. This data should not be used to interpret actual results)

Red fluorescent protein (DsRed) is a spontaneously fluorescent protein isolated from the Indo-Pacific sea coral, Discosoma striata. It absorbs and emits orange-red light and is well suited for multi-color tagging used in FRET. Since the molecular cloning of RFP cDNA and demonstration of RFP as a functional transgene, RFP has become a powerful tool with exciting applications in developmental, cell and molecular biology. RFP fluorescence is not species specific and can be expressed in bacteria, yeast, plant and mammalian cells. RFP can fuse with proteins of interest without interfering significantly with their assembly and function. Based on the structure of the RFP molecule, many RFP variants, such as TagRFP, TurboRFP, DsRed, tdTomato, mCherry, mKate, mRuby, mBanana, mOrange, mPlum, and mStrawberry, have been created with much improved fluorescence emission, or shifted excitation or emission spectra that are well suited for fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. Since rRFP requires no additional substrates or cofactors, rRFP fluorescence can be easily detected under fluorescence microscope after expression in either prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells.

Product Notes
The RFP (Catalog #AAA168749) is an Active Protein and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "RFP, Active Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
